‘About the baby? Ask away.’
‘No, about men. I’ve done nothing to lead Doc on. I’ve been faithful to Seamus and I still intend to marry him, but— Do you think it’s possible to be in love with two men at the same time?’
Gerry leaned back against the table and tipped her head in thought. ‘I think it’s possible. Who’s to say we can only love one person at a time?’ She pinned Meg with a look that bored right through to her heart. ‘Are you saying you might have feelings for Doc too?’
‘Maybe? Or maybe I’m feeling mellow because he’s a good and kind man who, for whatever reason, seems to care about me.’ She set her foot down and stood, tugging the belt of her dressing gown tighter. ‘I’m sorry I woke you before, but thanks for the midnight medical consultation, and Gerry—thanks for being the best friend a woman could ask for. I’m going to miss you.’
Gerry slipped her arm through Meg’s and together they left the mess tent. ‘I’ll miss you too but leaving is the best thing for both you and your baby. By the way, I’ve had a letter from my friend, the nun. Sister Rosemary. She invited you to meet her at Magdalen House when you get to Brisbane and she’ll let you know if she’s found a home for your baby.’
Meg gripped Gerry’s hand where it rested on her arm. ‘How can I thank you for all your help?’
‘Gerry is a great name for a girl or a boy.’ She winked and patted Meg’s hand, making a hand sandwich. ‘Seriously, I have a widowed aunt who would love to fuss over you. She lives on Brunswick Street near New Farm Park.’
‘I’ll look her up when I get there.’
